Saw these for the first time tonight. Looking to do a few pistols that I've picked up recently but these seem to be a bit more in cost than the Ameriglo operator style sights.

I've had AE sights in the past and they have been good performers. Just wondering how these compare to the HD's and Xrays etc.

That front sight looks crazy wide. The trend (correctly so) is narrower front Sights not wider. Pass for me

Until you hit 50, then wider starts looking pretty good.

The front sight looks to be the same width as standard Trijicon HDs and Ameriglo i-dots, 2 of some of the most popular sights out in the market.

I still don't like the fact that these XS sights rely on loctite and set screws to secure the rear sight.

The standard HD is 0.140 and this sight is 0.160 so it is definitely wider. I do not like that the front sight takes up almost the entire rear sight notch.
